Mahalia Jackson grew up in the Black Pearl section of the Carollton neighborhood of Uptown New Orleans, Louisiana She was born on October 26, 1911 and died in Chicago on January 27, 1972 Lyrics: Abide with me, fast falls the evening tide. The darkness deepens, Lord with me abide. When other helpers fail and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, O, abide with me. Hold thou thy cross before my closing eye Shine through the gloom and point me to the sky. As morning breaks and Earth's vain shadows flee, In life and death, O Lord, abide with me (I´m not the owner of the pictures, If I offend against any copyright or related rights, please tell me)
